Sports News of Sunday, 15 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) is set to deliver a verdict on Nigeria’s protest against the Democratic Republic of Congo over player eligibility in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers on February 16. The argument is that DR Congo’s constitution does not permit dual nationality, yet several of its internationals are believed to retain foreign citizenship. Recently, NFF General Secretary Dr Mohammed Sanusi, after submitting the petition, stated that they have a concrete case and are hopeful of a favourable outcome. We believe we have a strong case, and we are waiting for FIFA’s decision on our complaints,” he said. Meanwhile, DR Congo has denied the allegations made by the West African country, labelling them “bad losers” and accusing them of acting desperately after losing in the play-offs.
